This is great. I loved how every chapter was from a different person's POV, and you conveyed each one so perfectly. It's great that you addressed the issue of Ryan keeping his distance, while still giving him and Kirsten a chance to bond. :)

Another amazing story. Very few people have the ability to write successfully in first person, but this is one of of those people.

Just one minor note: it's "all right" rather than "alright"

Loved it!

Brilliant POVs

Would love to see you write a Sandy-Kirsten argument, I suck at them!

Wonderfully written and wonderful to read!

Squee! I liked that sso much! Very in character. Warm fuzzies everywhere. That was terrific, giving a little insight into everyone's thoughts and such that the show can't really give us. *thumbs up* Can't waint until your next project-ish thingie comes out!

I really liked your story, Joey. I think you did a great job with the different POV in each chapter. My own body ached with your descriptions of sleeping Ryan!

I know I'm a little late on this one, but I wanted to say that you did a great job revising this story, especially the last chapter. You know I loved the whole thing (and not just because of the constant presence of Sleeping!Ryan, although that helped, of course). Great job.

Very good! I love these interspective pieces! Can't wait to read your next story!

I've been following the story and was a tad disappointed that it was ending with part five. I came home from work just now and got online for the slim possiblility that there had been some updated stories since this morning. You just made the rest of my week with your ending comment about a related story being in the works.

It was really great. Glad to see you'll be posting another story, because the writing is stellar.

It was really good, Joey.

Thank you for not really making it stop here. I have really enjoyed this story and your excellent writing.

Beautifully done. This is a great story and I love the way you brought it full circle. I also like the way that Kirsten is the one that finally 'figures him out' and not Sandy or Seth. I can't wait for the new story. (You're teasing me by telling me it exists, now I'm impatient)

Great Story! Your last chapter was very well written and I can't wait for 'Two Steps Back'. Keep it up!

Wow, great story! I love that Kirsten realized she should just do what she feels is right, because he is just a kid. You had all the voices down. Excellent job. I look forward to Two Steps Back.
